Additionally, the upcoming device will officially sport a 120Hz display, which is rumoured to be a 6.7-inch 1080p LCD screen with Panda Glass for protection. As for the internals, it will be equipped with 256GB of RAM and according to earlier leaks, it might get 8GB of RAM and will reportedly run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset. The OPPO A98 will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery, which is the standard capacity these days and will support 67W SUPERVOOC wired fast charging. Other unconfirmed specs include IPX4 water resistance, a microSD slot for storage expansion, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
